- Citing concerns about the Sirius-XM merger, car-sharing company Zipcar has decided to pull XM from its vehicles. Given that the merger is way off if it does happen, doesn't this excuse seem a little fishy? [FishbowlDC]

just what in the hell is a Zipcar?
@Big Money, No Whammies:
It's a service that allows you to rent a car (car most likely being new VW Bug) for a few hours or so without going to a rental dealership. You pick up the car wherever there's a Zipcar parking spot and drop it off in a similarly marked spot.
Radar: The magazine that'll kiss your ass unless it sees verifiable proof that you're not the "it" thing. And even then the proof isn't verifiable...just how many of those comments "supporting" Joel aren't those ANNOYING SPAMMERS THAT ALWAYS TYPE LIKE THIS IN PEREZ'S COMMENT SECTION???
The weird thing about Perez's comment section is that anyone who looks at his site is capable of writing.
I am all for taking out Perez, but I just can't get on the Billy love train. Sorry.
Only decent Billy Joel song- "Just the Way You Are". And that's because of the Phil Woods solo.
Actually, and this coming from a doddering old man, but much of the early Joel stuff is still great. "Vienna," "James," "Summer Highland Falls"...
Granted, these tracks are tinged with childhood nostalgia for me, so I may like them better than some youngster Idolator reader coming to them cold. You know, the way you kids all feel when you hear your older sisters remember "Summer Girls" by LFO.
?
I am totally with you, Idolator editor, wrt billy and perez.
I got that zipcar email yesterday and I didn't buy that explanation either (I'm a member even though I own a car because I have to get that IKEA furniture home somehow).
